The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered
- Make the stall easy to find
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
